And you can get actually files that you can manufacture from. Now I have solidworks at my new job (which is even better than OnShape) but I still tomorrow with OnShape at home when I come up with some crazy thing to make. I recommend you check it out, watch some tutorials on YouTube. Should make turning your idea into a product much easier

Hmm, I'll check it out. Appreciate it! I made sure sketchup can output the files I needed, but I'm always willing to try something new if it turns out to be easier lol.
